Optimal fluids program

Your fluids program directly impacts drilling productivity and the quality of samples. With the optimal fluids program you can rest assured you’re retrieving quality core samples for logging and analysis. 

There are many variables when it comes to developing an optimal fluids program, and having a trusted partner before and during drilling is critical to success. IMDEX has the most experienced teams where you need them, when you need them. 

Hit your target

Deeper drilling requires greater accuracy. IMDEX’s Directional Drilling solutions enable you to get ahead of the curve and steer straight to your targets whilst improving the efficiency and sustainability of your drilling operations.

Designed to fit into the existing drilling workflow with minimal disruption, our coring and non-coring products combine with our downhole navigation tools and hole-planning software systems to ensure your drill program is optimised from start to finish.

Monitoring and analysis 

You can only improve what you can measure; and our software solutions for measuring, analysing and presenting data and information about the drilling process is critical to drilling optimisation.

Unlock sustainability

Drillers and miners are under increasing pressures to improve the environmental impacts of their operations.

Pairing the optimal fluids program with our award-winning solids removal units (SRUs) unlocks further cost efficiencies and reduced water consumption.

Our Directional Drilling solutions reduce environmental impact by reducing drill pads, operational time and CO2 emissions. The  DeviDrillâ„¢ operates under the same parameters as standard core drilling, meaning no additional water pumps are required.
